In a distributed Cisco ISE deployment, what is the role of the secondary Policy Administration Node (PAN)?

It is used only for pxGrid services and does not participate in administration.

It serves as a backup to the primary PAN and takes over if the primary fails.

It provides additional logging and monitoring capabilities.

It handles authentication requests independently of the primary PAN.

Which Cisco ISE node persona is responsible for collecting and storing logging, accounting, and troubleshooting data?

Policy Administration Node (PAN)

Monitoring and Troubleshooting Node (MNT)

Which Cisco ISE node persona is used to share context information (e.g., security group tags, endpoint attributes) with external systems such as firewalls and SIEMs?

Policy Administration Node (PAN)

Monitoring and Troubleshooting Node (MNT)

When scaling Cisco ISE to handle increased authentication load, which node persona should you add to the deployment?

Policy Administration Node (PAN)

Monitoring and Troubleshooting Node (MNT)

What is a primary scalability benefit of adding multiple Policy Service Nodes (PSNs) to a Cisco ISE deployment?

It increases the number of concurrent authentication sessions the system can support.

It automatically increases the storage capacity for logs.

It reduces the need for network devices to be configured with ISE IP addresses.

It eliminates the need for a backup PAN.
